“Flying Route 66: A Skybum’s Tour of the Mother Road”
In his new DVD, “Flying Route 66,” Russell Munson takes you
on an intimate journey above The Mother Road in his Piper Super Cub. Although
largely replaced by interstate highways, Route 66 remains a mythic symbol
of the open road, and a kindred spirit to all who love the freedom of the
road or of flight.Flying the entire 2400 mile path of Route 66 from Chicago to Santa Monica, Munson examines what is and what was of the famous highway. As the trip progresses, he muses on topics ranging from transience, to weather delays, to the sheer delight of being at home in the sky flying a small airplane.
Far more than a travelogue, ”Flying Route 66” is a personal essay in words, photographs, and an original musical score by composer and musician Crawford Brown. It is, as one viewer called it, a journey of the soul. The DVD also has Bonus Sections including, What is a Piper Super Cub?, and a Gallery of Munson’s spectacular airplane portraits, favorite Jonathan Livingston Seagull images, and aerial photographs.
“ Flying Route 66” was photographed, written, narrated, and produced by Russell Munson, and can be purchased for $29.99 by calling 800-SPORTYS, or by going on the web to www.sportys.com and ordering product number D400.
